Question

A Family purchased tickets to the movies in spent a total of $40.75. The family purchase five tickets there was a $.90 processing fee for each ticket. How much was 1 ticket.

Answer 1

$7.25

Explanation:

Total amount spent on the ticket = $40.75

Number of ticket purchased = 5

Processing fee per ticket = $0.90

Unknown:

Cost of each ticket = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to find the processing fee for the 5 tickets purchase;

Processing fee = number ticket x processing fee per ticket

Processing fee = 5 x 0.9 = $4.5

Now, the real cost a ticket = $40.75 - $4.5 = $36.25

So, cost per ticket is;

Cost =
`(36.25)/(5)` = $7.25
